WASHINGTON: According to the signal
map of the Open Mobile Video Coalition, 73 TV stations in 33 markets across
the country are now transmitting mobile DTV signals. Compared to a month ago,
the figures represent a net gain of 21 stations said to now be sending out
signals in ATSC M/H, the over-the-air mobile digital television transmission
standard.

Six more markets added signals, and another 18 joined the list of 46 cities
with stations planning Mobile DTV launches yet this year. Washington, D.C. and
Los Angeles are now tied for the most stations transmitting ATSC M/H, with six
each. Seven stations were listed for Washington last month, but WVNC-TV, the
MHz affiliate in the district, is no longer on the list. Four other stations
previously listed as actively transmitting signals are now either planning
launches or testing signals.

Should all stations in all markets now planning launches complete them by year
end, 151 TV stations in 79 markets will have mobile DTV signals by 2012.
